I’m here for the rock facts but some of these character designs are super cringe.

I assume the bigwigs wouldn’t let them make an anime about rocks unless it was also about boobs.

They added an online hub in the first major update but the rest is still true afaik.

No they didn’t have dlc, that’s why they sold MHG as a full price disc despite the fact that it was the same game as Monster Hunter with extra content, the same as Iceborne for World or Sunbreak for Rise.

World was just as bad at launch IMO. There was nothing worth doing post-story until Kulve Taroth came out.

Because not every game needs an endgame but publishers demand long-tail monitization so devs tack one on anyway.

G-rank was always a full price DLC that came a year or more later unless you skipped the base games (or Capcom didn’t localize them like with 4).

Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf was largely about food and cooking.

Cooking master boy is a great 90s anime about cooking battles similar to Yakitate! Japan which someone else already mentioned.

What’s wrong with just using Aurora instead?

The Empress Dowager is certainly holding on to some extremely complicated feelings she can’t even tell anyone about. What a morally challenging character, I think I’m gonna have to chew on this one for a while.

Someone had to eventually to tell them they need to stop pretending they aren’t dating and “he’s a coward and you’re a child” was an amazingly blunt way to do it. What a good big sis.

I felt so bad for her in that scene, when the emperor starts making fun of you there’s no choice but to sit there and take it.

Cha Hae-in’s deal continues to be mysterious considering how little she’s done with all the screentime she gets (besides provide cringy fanservice). I was initially thinking she might be another Player but her dislike of the smell of hunters raises the possibility that she’s either a magical beast herself (perhaps summoned by some hunter’s skill) or has some class that uses monster abilities like a blue mage or something.

If you’re considering buying keys from shady resellers just pirate the game instead. A lot of those keys are bought using stolen CC info and end up getting charged back which leaves the devs having to pay processing fees.

Also Humble is a retailer not a reselller, they get their keys directly from the publishers or developers of the game, they don’t resell keys they bought from someone else.

It seemed to me that all the S-classes had the ability to sense magical power.

Are Anime Husbandos the secret to fixing male immortal loneliness?

I think I love this show.

Who smokes in room full of ancient scrolls and priceless artifacts?

It’s a good thing the mold they found in the tomb wasn’t harmful to people with a well functioning immune system or else spending hours studying samples there with no PPE would have been really stupid.

Ah I was hoping someone would have a better idea, thanks!

The point about the contents of the vault having mostly sentimental value may have gone over better if not for the pile of gold in there.

I love that she inadvertently fixed the sexist damsel in distress character just by pointing out that she could have agency (and giving her a role model).

I assume Serval Cat Mask was inspired by Kinnikuman as that’s the only pro-wrestling anime I know of and the moves looked pretty similar.
